Build Your Own Satellite Ground Station Are you fascinated by space and want to learn how to receive data from satellites and weather probes? Join us in this TinyGS Station Workshop where you’ll build and program your own ground station and antenna to receive data from space. This hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for anyone interested in radio, electronics, IoT, antenna design, and space exploration. TinyGS TinyGS is an open, community-run network of ground stations distributed around the world to receive and operate LoRa satellites, weather probes, and other flying objects using cheap and versatile modules. With a TinyGS ground station, you can receive data from a variety of sources, including CubeSats. What You’ll Learn During the workshop, you’ll learn how to build and program a TinyGS ground station and a quarter-wave ground plane antenna. No prior experience is required. We’ll provide the materials, tools, and equipment to guide you through the process. Materials Costs It costs €80/£70 for a kit to take home. You’ll leave with your own ground station. Pair it with a waterproof box, and you’ll be ready to pick up satellites.
